CMS on Boarding with Dr. Sean Michael

from ACEP Frontline - Emergency Medicine

Recorded live at the ACEP Leadership and Advocacy Conference, this episode of ACEP Frontline features a timely conversation with Dr. Sean Michael, Regional Chief Medical Officer for Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. As emergency departments across the country continue to face unprecedented crowding, prolonged boarding, staffing strain, and access challenges, Dr. Michael joins us to discuss how CMS is viewing the crisis and what potential policy “levers” may help address the growing nationwide problem. From hospital throughput and inpatient capacity to quality measures and accountability, we explore how federal policy could influence meaningful change for patients, physicians, hospitals, and the emergency care system as a whole.
